Trump Calls for Using NATO in Fight against Daesh
Local Editor
Republican Candidate Donald Trump said Thursday that if elected president Nov. 8 he would be open to drawing NATO forces into the fight against Daesh terrorists in a new mission for an alliance he has called obsolete.
Trump made the comments in an interview with ABC News. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has for months raised questions about the money the United States pours into NATO, which he says needs to be reconfigured to take account of today's threats.
"I like the idea of using NATO and also neighbors that aren't in NATO and take them out. You gotta take them out," Trump said.
Trump said the idea of using the Cold War-era alliance would be to ease the load on American forces.
"I don't want to get too much of ours involved. I want NATO to be involved," Trump said. "We spend a tremendous amount of money on NATO. We take care of countries that frankly should be taking care of themselves in terms of economically."
Trump's comments came amid an uproar over a meeting between former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch at a time when Clinton's wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, is under federal investigation.
The private meeting took place on Lynch's plane after she landed in Phoenix Monday night and Bill Clinton was leaving the airport after a rally he held for his wife earlier that day.
Hillary Clinton is under an FBI investigation for her use of a private email server when she was President Barack Obama's first-term secretary of state.
Trump told conservative radio talk show host Mike Gallagher that the meeting was proof of his charge that the US political system is "rigged" in favor of political elites.
"It's unheard of," Trump told ABC News. "You have this massive investigation on emails and they'd have a meeting like this."
